Hillbilly Elegy - JD Vance (reread)

Goddarn what a true American Patriot this boy is. His non traditional (good way) family are true Patriots as well and while they don't truly have Christ in their hearts, they did well enough to raise that boy to be right with Christ and country. He'll be an excellent leader and his Mamaw will be proud to see him ascend to the world's stage

His story is positively Lincolnian and he's one of the truest American politicians there is Who overcame actual adversity and truly believes in the power of the family and Christ

!bookworms !neolibs thoughts on Hillbilly Elegy and JD Vance?

I'm honestly out of loop in Burger politics (and even Brazilian politics to be honest) outside major events as I'm happier paying less attention to nothing-burger circuses and dumb politicuck quotes pushed by the press.

Never read it, but the whiplash of it having been a critical darling upon publication to Vance now being Satan has hurt my neck.

Vance is a Republican (a.k.a. nazi) and currently the lieutenant of the Dark Lord (Orange Man). Of course libs and journos hate him, but I was asking if there are real and nuanced criticisms of him besides the usual hysterics.

The one guy I know who did read it said he didn't like it because he felt it increased and traded on the worst stereotypes of the region. But the conversation changed before I could hear how that critique squares with the fact he was writing about his own life which was, in fact, full of stereotypes

Anyone who says parts of Appalachia aren't true to they book are lying. I've traveled through before when I was vacationing and it's full of hicks and run down shit holes.

Imagine how much Vance's neck hurts going from looking down his nose at Trump to sucking his peepee.

It's a good story about a man who grew up with a community to support him who weren't the smartest or wealthiest people but instilled good Christian morals and virtue

I don't care about what politicians have to say. They're so full of shit.

I read it before he was a politician and liked it. I don't remember anything in it being super controversial and weird.

Guy from broken home, with a fricked up family finds his way out of it into success. It is something that would be, and for awhile was, seen as inspiring if burgerville was less wing cucked.
